I have been in Bahrain. It is near the Qatar and U.A.E. and there are at least two countries between Bahrain and Syria.

In closing, it looks like the Royal Tour of Juan Carlos and Sophia of Spain is taking in another country. On your behalf I will open a new topic called "State Visit to Bahrain", which I imagine will be done in a day. Where next, is anyone&#39;s guess.

Imagine Scandinavia - Allepo-Syria, October 22 2003. King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain on the third day of their visit to Syria. They visit Aleppo, Syria's second city and "capital of the North". In the ancient Citadel, they tour typical Syrian merchants (textile and soaps among others), pose with portraits of the Spanish royals done on Mosaic (with an ancient method) then have dinner with 100 guests in the "Throne Room" of the Citadel.
